Traffic & Commuting

To get to Downtown Richmond from the Museum District, all you have to do is hop on West Broad Street, drive three miles, and you’re there. It’s that simple. The drive takes ten minutes without traffic and maybe five minutes more during rush hour. The convenience of the commute has made the Museum District a popular area of the city. Even if you don’t have a car, it’s still easy to get around: the bus routes that serve the neighborhood can get you to Downtown in about 20 minutes. And, last but not least, the community less than a half mile away from Interstate 195, which is incredibly helpful if you have to commute outside of the city.

Recreation

The most popular activity here, as you can see by the name, is to go see local museums like the Science Museum of Virginia, the Children’s Museum of Richmond, and the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, which is considered to be one of the best museums in the entire country. Even when you step outside, you’ll see that the neighborhood is rich with history. This area housed a lot of soldiers in the Civil War, and with how the community has been preserved, it can feel like you’re living back in that time. For an even more realistic feel, the Museum of the Confederacy captures the late nineteenth century arguably better than anywhere else in the country. The Museum District also has cute shops, along with great restaurants and cafes.
